744.0. "St Michael's Hospice" by CMOTEC::HARWOODJ (Judy Harwood - REO - 830 2879) Mon Apr 11 1994 16:34

    Can anyone give me any information about St Michaels Hospice
    in Basingstoke ?
    I'm taking part in a 'sponsorship' event and the monies raised will
    go towards the Hospice.
    
    Being an 'out of town' lass, I know very little and would
    appreciate a little more info.  
    
    Thanks

744.1from the inside...COMICS::PARRYTrevor ParryWed Apr 13 1994 16:2910
    It is on the site of Basingstoke District Hospital on Aldermaston Road. 
    It is a small building the size of a nursing home.  They have 10 beds
    but can accommodate up to 15 if necessary.  The Hospice is totally
    dependent on charity, no government contributions at all.  There are
    some permanent staff and they use bank nursing staff when necessary
    (sometimes BDH hospital nurses on their day off).
    
    Any thing else you want to know ?

744.2Is it Specialized ?CMOTEC::HARWOODJJudy Harwood - REO - 830 2879Wed Apr 13 1994 16:476
    Many thanks for the information.
    
    Do you happen to know whether it is only for the terminally ill,
    or is it used for respite care, or does it specialize ?
